Effective ETF Trading System Tips For Beginners

Posted by Patrick Deaton

December 23, 2009

There are many effective different strategies, methods, and systems when one begins learning and working in ETF trading. Finding the ETF Trading System that will be most effective will be a matter of matching your personal style, your ETF goals, and your skills together and then working through the system to see if it will fit effectively.

Many websites offer books, training, or secrets about an effective system that is guaranteed to work. The really effective websites offer training and books on all of the systems that are available so that you can find the one that works best for you.

Starting small and slow with ETF trading is going to provide an opportunity to learn the techniques that work best. Many successful ETF traders agree that the learning curve for ETF training is around two years. If a person loses nothing in the first year, most of these traders agree that it has been an excellent year for that beginner. Setting realistic goals and expectations and setting up a safety net will be extremely helpful in making it through the learning curve unscathed.

Setting a stop-loss and committing to it will provide a level of safety when trading with a new system. The ETF moves in 15 second intervals during the trading day. A lot can happen very fast. A person who is trying to figure out a new system, and monitor a sector at the same time can miss opportunities to move at the most opportune time.

Another helpful net when beginning will be to set buy and sell points or set take profit prices. This will be a huge help until you have got a good knowledge base of how ETF trading works. Once you know how to do the technical and historical analysis that makes any system and strategy you use work more effectively, you will be able to have less structure in your safety net. But until you feel very comfortable with ETF trading, the stronger your safety net is, the more consistent your gains will be.

Starting to trade in sectors that have clear trends and trend lines to track will be easier than the more complex sectors. Trading in at least two separate sectors is also a good idea. Somewhere in your research of ETF trading systems you will find the actual formula for the system. This formula will show how the system is set up, how it works, and it’s risk. There may be some systems that have a low risk, but I haven’t seen any, so try to stick with systems that have a medium low to medium risk.

When looking at systems, any system that involves following trends is a system worth looking at. Learning to follow and spot trends, patterns, and variables is a great way to gain confidence in ETF trading. A system like the ETFA is one good way to start. The Exponential Moving Average System is a medium low to medium risk system that involves following trends. It is used primarily with TLT, XLE, RTH, XLF, and SPY (long term). Most people run the system on a fifteen day cycle. When the fast EMA and slow EMA cross, you move.

It is always good to start tracking a system before trading using the system. In this way you can see how effective it is on a consistent basis. When trading, there will be many opportunities for gain that come around, the system that connects you to those gains on the most consistent basis will be the correct system for you.
